Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0025299A1] An axle (3) is connected to trailing arms (5) with axle mounting brackets (7) via spherical rubber bushes (8). To allow relative angular movement of the arms under roll and yet to control axle movement under braking, leaf springs (9) clamped at one end onto the brackets (7) and pinned at the other end to the arms are provided. A cross-beam (13) interconnects the rear ends of the trailing arms and passes the axle loads to air suspension units (16) acting on the ends of the beams outboard of the trailing arms.
